I had a 1450 that would lift the deck about 6". So high the belt would rub the paint off the deck if I forgot to shut it off. In not sure why it lifted so high. I no longer have the tractor do I can't look at it . But it is possible to get them to lift high I just can't tell you how to do it .

Someone fabricated some connecting linkages (the pieces that go from the lift arms to the under carriage that mounts to the top of the mower deck) for my 48" mower. They are shorter than OEM; it raises the deck more but again the belt rubs when it's that high, plus it doesn't like to lock in place because the cross rod of the under carriage hits the u bolt nut of my IH spring assist.

Are you sure you have the correct lift links? I have several pairs and they have different lengths. The 44C on my 1450 raises 6". I had to play around with different lift links until I got the deck level. Check the arms on the hangers. Are the contact points worn down? Is the bar that holds the rear arm worn down?

I'll have to check the lengths of the lift links. Everything is worn a fair amount on the 1250, but I can't see that stacking up to more than an inch or so. Of my cubs the 1250 is probably the least peiced together, so I would guess the links are what came on it, but I will measure all I have and see. On the 129 I did weld the slots back to original, but the bar and the mating mule drive are both worn ~1/8". That will be fixed soon

You keep mentioning the casters but are you sure they are in the correct holes? On some models the casters can be adjusted from real low to about three inches higher. Some people think that the casters should be on the ground all of the time but they are anti-scalping wheel and not bush hog tires. They should be set to about 1/2 to 1 inch above the ground depending on your ground.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
